The effect of resorcinolic lipids on biological membranes

Resorcinolic lipidsResorcinolic lipids
• Found in higher plants (cashew nut, Ginkgo biloba, wheat bran, rye, barley), lower plants (algae, mosses, fungi), microbial organisms (bacteria)
• Tail length (11-25) and degree of unsaturation (0-4) varies.
• Very low critical micelle concentration (CMC) 4.5-8.5M
• Potential applications: medicine, nutrition, agriculture

Biological activity of resorcinolsBiological activity of resorcinols
Bacteriostatic and
fungistatic activity
Non-toxic to higher
animals
Protect cellular lipids from
oxidation processes
On membranes:-pre-incorporated increase the
resistance of the liposome to
water and small solutes
-incorporated into the suspension
of liposomes increase a release
of ions, small solutes such as
glucose, change transport of
water -”surfactant-like effect”
Questions: Questions:
How resorcinolic lipids affect phospholipid bilayers? Is this dependent on the length of alkyl tail? How do resorcinols distribute within a DMPC
bilayer?

SummarySummary• Bilayer formation largely unaffected by resorcinol
• Asymmetric distribution between leaflets (cluster formation) but no clear domains
• Resorcinols increase order parameters
• Interaction of RES hydroxyl groups with DMPC glycerol the ester groups

SummarySummary
Alternative mechanisms of incorporation lead to marked
differences in disruption.
Alternative final phases depending on chain length:
a) lamellar - RES11,
b) hexagonal - RES19,
c) lamellar with gel phase domain - RES25
Final bilayers asymmetric: much longer simulation times
required for equilibration
